the only thing i would disagree with is usage of the word "Influencer" in the same sentence with these people even with the sarcastic quotes. haha. otherwise this has also been my view even before Youtube started dropping their ban hammer. they should have done it a lot sooner.
the worst part was that Youtube has turned into the pump and dump channels for altcoins and these bans needed to happen a lot sooner before these newbies could scam other newbies.
since they're wealthy from their crypto trading and investing
i wouldn't be so sure about that. people who rely on altcon pumps and also have no idea how the market works would also lose a lot of money based on their own mistakes. specially those who got cocky during 2017 pumps and though they were experts just because they bought some shitcoin and it got pumped.
And can you imagine waking up having breakfast and then being like... "OK time to BS people on youtube so I can pay rent". I honestly have much more respect for big fraudsters who actually run pumps and dumps and exit scams and go for tens and hundreds of millions than these losers.
